Two fees. No contracts. No surprises.

One Design & Development fee pays for the craft, and the build is yours once that fee is paid. One monthly subscription runs the platform that keeps it alive. Every dollar labeled honestly, and support is always free.

How our pricing works

Two fees, plainly named.

Most agencies bury the build inside a monthly retainer, so you never know what you're paying for. We split it cleanly: one fee buys the craft, the other runs the system. Once you see the two, the rest of this page makes sense.

Paid once

Design & Development Fee

Pays for the craft.

Pays for the craft: custom design, the build, your content, and launch. This is real work, delivered once, and the work is yours once the fee is paid in full.

Custom design on True Mtn wireframes, never a template
The complete build, your content placed and launched
Pay in full or split it over 12 months

Paid monthly

Platform & Hosting Subscription

Runs the system that keeps it alive.

Premium hosting, security, daily backups, software licenses, weekly updates, and lead delivery: the system the site runs on. It's not a retainer for busywork; it's the engine under the hood, working whether you think about it or not.

Hosting, security, daily backups, weekly updates
Every software license bundled, no add-on shopping
A monthly Site Health Report proving it all worked

Pick your plan

Two packages. Start with Core.

Talk Through Basic →

One extra job a year pays for Core. The $100/mo gap is the difference between a site that sits there and a site that feeds your business.

Month-to-month, 30 days' notice, no minimum term. Prices shown are starting points for the defined scope below. Your proposal quotes one exact D&D number and one exact monthly number.

Pay the build your way

Don't let the up-front cost decide your package.

Don't want a lump sum? Pay the Design & Development fee in 12 equal monthly payments alongside your subscription. Split it over 12 months. No interest, no credit check, no fine print.

So you can build the site your business needs now, not the one you can scrape together today.

What's a Custom Post Type? Most sites have two kinds of content: pages and posts. A Custom Post Type is a purpose-built third kind, structured around something you have a lot of: team members, projects, locations, menu items. You fill in a simple form and the site formats and places it perfectly, every time. Worth it when you have five or more of the same thing that changes over time.

Active-work add-ons

Content Booster

Ongoing SEO content built around what your customers actually search for. Keeps your Core blog growing month after month.

Google Ads

Managed ad campaigns that put you in front of buyers right now, billed separately from your platform fee.

Need more content or pages than Basic allows? That's the move to Core. Basic stays a clean, fixed 5-page build. Talk it through on a free call →

You own your website

The site is yours. We just run it for you.

Pay the build fee upfront and the site's yours at launch. Spread it over 12 months and it's yours the day it's paid off. Either way the design and build belong to you, not rented from us. The platform that runs it is your subscription, managed by us so you never have to think about hosting, security, or updates again. You own the work; we keep the lights on.

Why two fees instead of one?

Because they pay for two different things, and bundling them hides what you're actually buying. The Design & Development fee pays for the craft: the custom design and build, which is yours once that fee is paid in full. The monthly subscription pays for the platform that keeps it alive: hosting, security, backups, licenses, and weekly updates. Splitting them means every dollar is labeled honestly, and you never wonder where your money goes.

Can I pay the build monthly?

Yes. Pay the Design & Development fee in full before we start, or split it into 12 equal monthly payments alongside your subscription. No interest, no credit check, no fine print. It's the same total either way, just spread out so a great site doesn't mean a big lump sum.

What happens to my price after year one?

If you finance the build over 12 months, that payment comes off your bill once it's paid in full. After year one you're left with just the monthly subscription ($299 on Basic or $399 on Core), and it stays there. Your price goes down, not up.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The design and the build are yours once the Design & Development fee is paid. Pay it upfront and it's yours at launch. Spread it over 12 months and it's yours the day it's paid off. Not rented. Yours. The platform that runs it (hosting, security, software licenses) is your subscription, managed by us so you never think about it. You own the work; we keep it running.

Are there contracts?

No long-term contracts. The subscription is month-to-month with 30 days' notice and no minimum term. We earn your business every month by keeping your site fast, secure, and delivering leads, not by locking you in.

Is support really free?

Really. Every plan, every client, no hourly billing for asking us a question. Our team is US-based in Chicagoland, and most requests are done within one business day. Support is a reason to trust us, not a line item you have to ration.

What if I need more than 5 (or 15) pages?

Basic is a clean, fixed 5-page build. If you need more content than that, the move is to Core, which includes up to 15 pages plus 5 city service pages. On Core, additional pages are $150 each and extra city service pages are $100 each, quoted on your proposal. Bigger needs like a careers page, portfolio, or ecommerce are quoted too.
